hmmm, I can ping the real world. I can ping tap0’s gateway from tap1 and vice versa, but I can’t seem to get past the gateway of either to the hosts. Need to study routes and such better I think. I just am not seeing the issue

Hey there. Unfortunately, it does not look like NM 0.7 will give you that menu item as 0.6 did. It’s probably being phased out with the introduction of the newer method of handling broadband cards. The CLI or some of the other ppp front ends will work for you. You could always try the latest NM from their PPA, and also keep up to date with the mbca project.

In EasyTag Settings… Preferences… ID3 Tag Settings… make sure your “Wite ID3v2 tag” option is checked, and the version selected is 2.4, UTF-8.

Then, if you highlight the top-most parent folder, EasyTag should load all tracks recursively in the track browser to the right. If you highlight all the tracks, You can force save all the tags using “File… Force Saving Files(s)”. This will write the tags, regardless if they already have been tagged previously with v1, 2.3, or 2.4 tags.

Is there a way to get it to go and rewrite all the tags in v2.4 rather than having to do each directory?

@Ralf

Edit the network settings of your guest in VirtualBox and change the “Attached To” value to “Host Interface”. I added an additonal screenshot to the post to make it a bit more complete.

Thanks, exactly what I’m trying to implement. One question left: How do I bind tap0 (tap1, …) to a guest system? I just set IP data as mentioned and ran the tap-setup script, but the VMs do not see each other and Internet is not available to the guests neither.
TIA, Ralf

I love this info! I have used it a ton!

Here’s my question : Since my CMDA embedded card isnt supported yet with NM .7, can you create instructions to have it added to the NM menu like you did for the older NM? I ask becasue that would make it seamless to hop onto my CDMA network (the command line way works fine too)

Thanks!

Drop me an email using the information found on my contact page. It sounds like either a basic routing decision issue.
